i have been saying this about Pulis for the last 2 years, finally some ppl agree with me, credit where credit is due but his continuous moaning when beaten is becoming boring. comment by sgtpotters says it all "Pulis always does an interview like that when we lose. He'd much rather moan about something else than admit we were utter ****e on the day."
Fair play swansea - you beat us fair and square and your little 'uns showed they have big hearts. I hope they go on to do well this season. As far as Pulis goes he does not believe football is primarily entertainment but rather a sport..... He who scores most goals 'within the rules of the game' wins.
Steve_SCFC - thanks for the comments, and he does obviously have a recipe to do well to manage the team - good luck for the rest of the season. However, all I've read this morning is his crap quoting rugby tackles and fairness in the game - come on, how can he spout such crap with the display given by the team.. To me that's sour grapes and embarrassing comments from someone representing Stoke.
He certainly didn't do us any favours with his comments. Perhaps he is secretly looking to take Wenger's job.... now he can put selective vision as one of his key attributes.
This tells you everything about Tony Pulis playing away from home Since our promotion: Played 61, Won 10, Drawn 16, LOST 35, Goals For 37, Goals Against 98, Goal Dif -61 Win % 16% scroing on 0.60 goals per game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Our away form was 18th in 2008-2009, 14th in 2009-2010 & 18th in 2010 -2011! Ever likely our away fanbase is dwindling game by game, Yes we play totally different at home, which you will see when you come to the Brit, like sgtpotter says above, we are crap away from home, playing mostly diabolical football. well played & good luck for the rest of the season Huth
Very intresting stats Huth , i guess the message is "dont follow stoke away" !! seems strange why the away record is that poor , purely down to tactics or do the players have to take some of the blame too ??
What about the assault on Dyer, that was never a tackle. I've here'd of going for the ball, but "Dyers Balls" are taking it a bit too far.
Havent got the actual figures, but on the best scfc messageboard called The Oatcake, lots of people are fed up paying to watch such dross away from home & have stated they will not be attending an away match again. Norway jack Very intresting stats Huth , i guess the message is "dont follow stoke away" !! seems strange why the away record is that poor , purely down to tactics or do the players have to take some of the blame too ?? Think it is just how Pulis drills it into his players, same gameplan every away game, do not concede first half, then second half try to nick a goal, then sit back & defend like fcuk
